Abstract

38 severe rainstorms that have been experienced over north India during the last 70 to 80 years were analysed by DAD method and for each rainstorm P|M ratios were worked out for different size of areas. Comparison of these ratios has shown that the most efficient rainstorm that has occurred during the last 80 years over north India was the rainstorm of October 1955 over the Punjab plains for one-day duration and upto 10,000 sq. miles (25,900sq. km).
